A nicely maintained example of this locally built classic cruiser. Californians were among the few US-built boats from her era. They were built to a high standard, while many of her imported peers were not. She has a solid fiberglass hull with a sharp entry and flat sections aft that allow her a good turn of speed, stability, and good fuel economy. Odelon has timeless, clean lines and an elegance you don’t find in most modern boats. She has been well maintained by her current owners and is ready to get to the island now. Her wide side decks make going forward for anchoring or fishing safe and easy. Her spacious aft deck can easily seat six with enough deck chairs. The full-width swim step makes boarding from a dinghy, swimming, and fishing a pleasure.

The enclosed flybridge has seating for four and a full enclosure, which makes driving across the channel or enjoying sundowners with a view a year-round event. Up forward, Odelon has a V-berth with sleeping for two adults and a child. Just aft to port is another cabin with sleeping for two. To starboard is a comfortable head with an electric toilet and separate shower stall.

The large salon with huge, clear windows lets in lots of sunlight, plus a good-sized galley with a two-burner stove, oven, large stainless double sink, and front-loading refrigerator make time indoors—at anchor or in the slip—equally enjoyable.
